I would hope to be half as sanguine as you, because I am a bit of a control fiend, and would want to be the one to lay my employer off, not the reverse!<br /><br />Your art is more than good enough to add as a sideline to your writing.

I think you should be able to pull in some nice supplemental income doing cover design, given the quality of your work.

I always forget that.<br /><br />I've got a novel that's half done that I have to finish. The next one could be fun to do that way, although it's certainly longer than 50k. And I've already written some chapters.<br /><br />Which is the real problem. I write during the exploratory, brainstorming phase.
